Can a 3 month old have pollen allergies?

My DH said no way but she def seems like she does. Andrew and both DH and I have had them really bad the past few days. And this morning Alexa woke up with a dry cough and her eyes are red and watering. I think it is allergies.

I don't think they can ! I would call the doc on that one

I would say yes, but they don't test them that early, or atleast not in my ped's office.
My DD had a constant runny nose sneezing pretty much from 2 months old till about 3 years old all allergy related. She eventually grew out of it and now only gets it for about 2 months out of the year instead of the 11 months she used to.
I would definitly ask your ped, they do have some allergy medicines out there but sometimes you just don't want to use them unless its a really bad day for her.

I think my ped said they have to live through at least one allergy season to develop those allergies.

I think so. The trees are bursting right now too.

DD was about 5 months old when she had the same thing - spring allergies. She acted completely normal otherwise. I never called the ped b/c my instinct was that it was nothing to worry about and we couldn't treat her anyway. She was better within a couple of days.

Hope she feels better soon!

I heard they can't, but that def. sounds like allergies! Hope she feels better soon! I know mine are out of control today!
